Limited edition Gran Turismo Sport PlayStation 4 console revealed

Share this post

Today I’m thrilled to announce that a limited edition Gran Turismo Sport PlayStation 4 console will release across UK, Europe and Australasia from 18th October* to coincide with the release of the latest entry in Polyphony Digital’s celebrated racing series.

As you can see from the above, the small, slim and light 1 terabyte unit will feature an exclusive Gran Turismo Sport silver faceplate, emblazoned with the logo and a fully-customised silver DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller with the Gran Turismo Sport logo on the touchpad.

The limited edition console comes with a Day 1 edition of the game which provides access to $250,000 in-game credits, livery sticker packs, a chrome racing helmet and 60 PS4 avatars.

We will also have a standalone Limited Edition DUALSHOCK 4, as well as a version that’s bundled with a standard copy of the game*.

That’s not all though – we have more bundles available to suit every player which all come with a standard copy of Gran Turismo Sport on Blu-ray disc*:

Jet Black PS4 1 TB edition

Jet Black PS4 500GB edition

Jet Black PS4 1TB + extra Jet Black DUALSHOCK 4 edition

Jet Black PS4 Pro edition

Disappointed that it’s not the Pro, especially as GT Sport is enhanced on it. Would have been interested if it was Pro but just for a PS4 Slim? Nope. Mentions ‘faceplate’ so are there going to be coloured and printed faceplates available to buy separately at later date?

Can’t you rip the faceplate off and put it on the Pro? (Not serious, I wouldn’t be interested in buying two consoles, either!)

However, this leads me to think that there may be faceplates coming for the PS4 [Pro]… just like there were different-coloured drive bay plates for the original PS4. I’m hoping this is to be the case anyway! (Pardon the pun!)

this smacks of the beginning of the last leg of a product lifecycle before announcing the next generation, trying to flog as many inexpensive SKUs as possible, in bulk. It’s neither particularly limited in the grand scheme of things, nor is it a pro. I mean, for GT, surely anyone with an iota of sense would push a pro!?

@Marky26422 Lol true, I have more trophies in GT5 than you after all. You would be more impressed if I had the SKILL to do the Used Car Lottery to try and get 1000 cars in GT 5? No thanks, not that you did it either.

I think I have every right to be disgusted with this game. “Before” I buy assumes I will be buying it ever, I won’t be. I’m also a “cry before I buy” type for the Resident Evil and Final Fantasy series and look how they are doing now too lol. 10 years of RE to get a half decent game in RE7 and 10 years of MAKING a new FF game to get whatever the heck FFXV is.

Very disappointing. Such a great colour scheme wasted on the Slim model. Sony, you really need to look at the market of enthusiast players who want a limited edition console and understand that they want a PRO model. With such a huge install base, a majority of people who want to play PS4 likely already own one – no point getting another one (even a limited edition model), unless it’s better. Guess what’s better: the PRO Model

Sony know what they’re doing clearly. If you don’t have a PlayStation 4 then this is perfect for even new comers to the Series. For those that bought a PS4 Pro recently & Upgraded (e.g Me) then this leaves us a little hollow inside. I’m going to purchase It for the Collector Factor alone If It’s cheap enough. I’m also glad the Limited Controller can be purchased separately as I hate the Black Controller bundled with My Pro. (I had the Batman PS4 before I upgraded to the Pro)

That all aside the GT Emblem Is beautiful & I love the Two Tone feel of the console & Controller.

I would’ve purchased this in a heartbeat if it was a ps pro. Unfortunately cool stuff is implemented to the slim because the marketing team is behind the real decisions. At least that’s what I guess anyways.”PS Slim sold more than ps pro so make limited editions for slim”. Something like that

I used to love the Gran Turismo series. Been there since day one. The original was the reason I first used the dual shock pad, after switching from my old digital controller, and I never looked back. The second game was bigger, better, everything about it was an improvement on an already brilliant original. Then came the PS2 games. Gran Turismo’s 3 and 4 were everything I wanted from a racing game. Huge amounts of cars, tracks, different driving challenges, the hill climbs, the off road, I still loved the series so much. Then I got Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3, and whilst it wasn’t that much of a leap technically, I appreciated the new graphics, being able to race online, and I had a huge amount of fun with it. Then came 6. Oh. Or should I say Gran Turismo 5.1. No innovation, nothing new, barely an upgrade from the previous game, and I was a little disappointed. Still, I played it for a long time, and definitely got my money’s worth. When Gran Turismo Sport was announced my heart sank ...

Still, I played it for a long time, and definitely got my money’s worth. When Gran Turismo Sport was announced my heart sank a little. The main draw for me, with these games, is starting out in some underpowered road car, upgrading it, gradually earning a bit more money to move up to the next set of races. It had a really nice career progession type thing, but all of this seems to have gone out of the window with this new game. Still, it was a new GT game and so I was excited to try the beta. I wish I hadn’t bothered. It was bland, boring, and had none of the excitement or charm of the old games. It felt almost clinical. And the graphics have barely been updated since Gran Turismo 5. I lost any interest I had in new games in this series after about an hour with the beta. It’s such a shame to say, because this was one of my favourites franchises ever on the Playstation, and like I said, I’ve been there since the beginning. I’ll be looking elsewhere for my racing thrills this year. Fingers crossed Project Cars 2 is good… :(

What’s even more lame besides no Pro version, is no USA version of this release… The U.S is literally the core of your business and it seems we always get shafted, we already get screwed daily by our government, now by Sony.

stop making stupid pros some of us like to use the optical slot for audio so the slim is just a downgraded basic ps4 to me as its had stuff removed so either make a pro or it will just give me further proof that your dont care about gamers just profit and if something doesnt chnge before november i can say with certainty that i will be buying the xbox one x as its a better machine simple

Despite thinking the Pro is a bit of an insult to us morons who lined up for the “inferior” launch PS4… [DELETED] Why isn’t this a Pro??? Absolute madness.

Sorry all, I have to rant. Sony, your past year has been utterly awful. PS Now (that ISN’T EVEN AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE) instead of real BC, dividing the userbase with the Pro, Increasing the price of Plus while never adding any benefits to it, garbage uncustomisable interfaces added to the console (eg being forced to scroll through apps I DON’T HAVE in the video section)… I jumped ship from 360 to PS4 last gen because of how Microsoft screwed up the One so badly. Willing to do it again if you keep up this nonsense. MS have been humbled this gen just like you were last one. Don’t expect to stay on top forever.
